The Foundational 15 [LO6-1, LO6-2, LO6-3, LO6-4, L06-5) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Diego Company manufactures one product that is sold for $74 per unit in two geographic regions-the East and West regions. The following information pertains to the company's first year of operations in which it produced 45,000 units and sold 40,000 units Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials 24 18 Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead Fixed selling and administrative expense 585,000 423,000 The company sold 30,000 units in the East region and 10,000 units in the West region. It determined that $190,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expense is traceable to the West region, $140,000 is traceable to the East region, and the remaining $93,000 is a common fixed expense. The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed manufacturing overhead costs as long as it continues to produce any amount of its only product Required: What is the company's net operating income (loss) under absorption costing? What is the amount of the difference between the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes (losses)? 9. If the sales volumes in the East and West regions had been reversed, what would be the company's overall break-even point in unit sales? 14. Diego is considering eliminating the West region because an internally generated report suggests the region's total gross margin in the first year of operations was $30,000 less than its traceable fixed selling and administrative expenses. Diego believes that if it drops the west region, the East region's sales will grow by 5% in Year 2, Using the contribution approach for analyzing segment profitability and assuming all else remains constant in Year 2, what would be the profit impact of dropping the West region in Year 2? 15. Assume the West region invests $35,000 in a new advertising campaign in Year 2 that increases its unit sales by 20%. If all else remains constant, what would be the profit impact of pursuing the advertising campaign? will increase The Foundational 15 [LO6-1, LO6-2, LO6-3, LO6-4, L06-5) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.)
